This Wednesday, November 29, the Balearia Maritime Station in Denia has been the setting chosen by the Sailing Federation of the Valencian Community to present the 9th edition of the Olympic Week, an international regatta that includes the main Olympic classes and pre-Olympic events and which brings together, every year, the world elite of Light Sailing in the Valencian Community, with the presence of the four clubs, with the RCN of Valencia represented by Marisa Arlandis, president of the RCNV, accompanied by Carlos de Beltrán, Manager and Pedro Quiroga, Sports Director. The sports project, which was born as part of the Madrid 2006 candidacy, has not stopped growing each season as a result of the commitment that the Valencian Community Sailing Federation has continued to make to keep this competition alive. This ninth edition, which is organized by the Valencian Community Sailing Federation together with the RCN Valencia, the RCR Alicante, the CN Santa Pola and the RCN Torrevieja and thanks to the support of the Trinidad Alfonso Foundation and the Generalitat Valenciana, will be held from December 1 to 18 and has already confirmed 8 European and national titles at stake among the more than 21 modalities that will be in competition. The big news is that on this occasion, the test will also be the scene of the EuroCup for the 29er class during February 1 to 4 at the Real Club Náutico de Valencia. 21 modalities, 4 venues and 8 European and national titles at stake Divided into four venues, so that all modalities compete simultaneously, the regatta program is structured as follows: The Real Club Náutico de Valencia up to nine classes. The 29er will have a great novelty and that is that this pre-Olympic class, in addition to fighting for the national title, this time it is the Spanish championship, will also have the EuroCup at stake. Along with them, at the club facilities in the capital of Túria we will find the fleets of Finn, Vaurien, Snipe, Waszp, F18, Class A, Hobie16 and Patín a Vela. At the Real Club de Regatas de Alicante there will be the three ILCA modalities (4,6 and 7) along with the 420 and it will be the venue for the 2024 Spanish Championship of the ILCA7 class. The different modalities of IQFoil, Raceboard, BIC Techno 293 and windsurfing will meet at the Santa Pola Nautical Club. It will be here that the IQFoil will celebrate their 2024 Spanish Championship. And finally, it will be at the Real Club Náutico de Torrevieja where the regatta will be held, which in turn is the Spanish Cup, for the Europe, Flying Dutchman and RC IOM classes.

The sailors of the Real Club Náutico de Valencia have shone with their own light this past weekend, in three different parts of our geography. At the RCN in Laredo the 29er boys took the podium, and only on the last day did they escape from achieving absolute total. Until the third day, the three podium places had the color of the RCN of Valencia with Elena de Tomás and Obdulia Fernández in third place, along with the Momplet tandem first and the Codoñer second. After four days of competition, on a very complicated regatta course for the 21 registered crews, with very variable wind conditions and being able to complete a total of 10 races out of 14 programmed, Sara and Isa Momplet win the title of champions of Spain 29er, Simón and Mateo Codoñer doing the same. The girls have been immeasurable in Cantabrian waters, nothing more and nothing less than they have achieved 8 partial victories out of 10 regattas held, in the other two they have finished 4th and 2nd in the first and fourth races respectively. This means that they conclude the national team with 8 points, after two discards. The Codoñer tandem finishes with 26 points. Behind, in women, silver for the Balearic Islands Susana Bestad and Mª Teresa Martín (RCN Palma), with 32 points, while the bronze in this category goes to De Tomás and Fernández, who finish tied with the Palmas with those 32 points. As for the boys, accompanying the sailors from the RCN of Valencia, Santiago Núñez and Ricardo de March (CN Garraf) and the Canarians Jaime Lang-Lenton and Diego Power get on the box. It is worth highlighting, as for the sailors of the RCN of Valencia, the girls Alice Gasperini and Marta Moscardó, 2nd in the Senior category and 14th in the absolute general classification, a classification in which Leandro Ramón and Lara Luz Mª Prokop Quiroga, finish in the position 11. Antonio Gasperini, champion of the Waszp Spanish Cup in the Mar Menor In the waters of the Mar Menor and organized by the Sailing Federation of the Region of Murcia, Fun Foil Fest Los Alcázares Mar Menor closed this past weekend, with the Waszp Spanish Cup at stake. A regatta in which two other sailors from the RCN of Valencia have been missing: Isis Collado and Quicorras Urios, both of whom have headed to San Francisco to compete in the SailGP final. But what has given everything, to the point of taking the final victory, has been Antonio Gasperini, who has brought the title of champion of the Spanish Cup to Valencia. With six races completed and this regatta greatly conditioned by the light and unstable wind, Gasperini closed his participation with five partial victories and a fourth place, leaving him with 5 points, compared to 9 obtained by Ion Ander Basurto, from CN Hondarribia. The bronze went to Mikel Vázquez, CV Navarra, with 14. Our Borja Chulvi finished in fourth place with 18 points. Toni Ballester and Abdón Ibáñez, gold and silver in the Mar Menor in Class A In the same regatta, within its program, Class A competed, with representation from the RCN of Valencia. A new success for the Club's sailors. Toni Ballester and Abdón Ibáñez take the podium, first and second respectively in the overall standings. The same positions they occupy within the flying category. Irene de Tomás, adds and continues in ILCA 6 The RCN del Abra has hosted the Spanish Cup ILCA 6. A championship that has been marked by weather conditions, with fog, little wind and many wind instability on the regatta course, Only two tests can be completed, enough to validate the championship. Our Irene de Tomás has managed to close this championship in a brilliant third place in SUB19, while in her SUB17 category she achieved first place.
